CHRlsT AND PLATE.

4 Literal Translation of the Roman In
tendaut's Sentence Upon Jesus.
A correspondent sends the following
as a correct translation Of the sentence
of Pontius PLATE. He says this curious
document was discovered i'm A. d. 1880,
in the city of Aquill, in the Kingdom Of
Naples, in the course of search made
for the discovery of Roman antiquities,
and it remained there until it was
found by the Commissaries of Art in
the French army of Italy. Up to the
time of the campaign in Southern
Italy it was preserved in the sasI-isty of
the Carthusians, near Naples, where it
was kept in box Of ebony. Since
then the relic has been kept in the
Chapelo Caserta. The Carthusians OBJ
tanned, by petition, leave that the plate
might be kept by them rs an acknowl-
edgment Of the sacrifices which they
had made for the French army. The
French translation was made literally
bv members Of the Commission of Art.
Demon had fac-simile Of the plate en-
graved, which, on the sale of his cabi-
net, was bought by Lord Howard for
two thousand eight hundred and ninety
francs:-"Sentence pronounced by
